KATHERINE J. MANEY, OF IVIUKWONAGO, WISCONSIN.

IRON-HOLDER.

Application filed November 20, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KATHERINE J. MANEY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of lWIukwonago, in the county of Waukesha and State of lVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Iron- Holders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof. 7

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in holders for irons or other articles more particularly of that type adapted for securement to an ironing board or table to project outwardly of the edge thereof.

It is primarily the object of the present invention to provide as an article of manufacture a holder of this nature which comprises a structure of maximum simplicity consistent with a desired degree of strength and convenience in use.

A further object resides in the provision of a support member which may be attached to an ironing board or table in such manner as to either project from the board or table or to swing to lie within the confines thereof without the necessity of adjusting the attaching means of the holder thereto.

A still further object resides in therprovision of a holder of the present nature which may be folded to occupy a minimum space when not in use.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view the invention resides more particularly in the novel combination, formation and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and pointed out in the appended claim. v

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved holder secured to and projecting from the edge of an ironing board.

Fig. 2 is a'vertical sectional view therethrough on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, the holder comprises a spider shaped body plate 5 at the free ends of the legs of which is formed a rim 6 corresponding in shape to a desired size of iron and provided with an upstanding retaining flange 7 at its outer periphery. As shown more particularly in Fig. 2,

the top face of the rim 6 is oifset upwardly Copies ofvthis patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.

that a desired smoothness of their faces is essential.

The longitudinally disposed spider arms are intermediately enlarged at 8 and countersunk in these enlarged portions are the heads of bolts 9 passed therethrough, and pivotally passedthrough the ends of a pair of links 10. The other ends of these links are provided with apertures 11 for the reception of a securing bolt 12 and one of the links is preferably oflset at said other end to provide for their lapped relation to re ceive the bolt 12. Y

This securing bolt is also passed through the ironing board 13 or other support, and threadedly engaged on the bolt is a wing nut 14. The holder being thus pivotally secured to the ironing board, it may project therefrom as shown in the drawings, or may be swung to lie inwardly of the board.

'Upon detachment of the bolt 12, it is noted holder is distributed from the edge of the "iron seating rim 6 to, the outer ends of the links a maximum strength is provided consistent with the material employed.

What is claimed is: As an article of manufacture an iron holder comprising a body plate, a pair of links pivotally connected with the body at longitudinally spacedportions thereof, and a securing bolt passed through the other ends of the links and adapted to pass through a support.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Mukwonago, in the county of Waukesha and State of Wisconsin, in the presence of two witnesses.
